Second Jaipur private university student found dead in two days
On Tuesday, a BTech student allegedly died by suicide in the same private university’s campus hostel, raising concerns
Two private university students were found dead in Jaipur, Rajasthan within two days, prompting concerns over student mental health. The second student, from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, was discovered dead in a hostel room on Wednesday night after other students detected a foul smell. Police recovered the body and have sent it for a post-mortem examination.
It is unclear whether a suicide note was found. On Tuesday, a BTech student allegedly committed suicide in the same university hostel. These deaths have raised concerns about the mental well-being of students and the support systems in place. Rajasthan witnessed 55 student suicides between 2024 and 2025, with 28 cases in Kota, the coaching hub, and six in Jaipur.
Factors contributing to these deaths include academic pressure, mental stress, depression, family issues, and examination-related disappointment.
